Both Tammy and myself are excited to feature some of our wonderful staff at Little Hills Winery. We realize that our people are the most important part of the success of our business and are extremely proud of their efforts and loyalty. We want to start 2010 by featuring Cedric Sutton, Assistant Manager for Little Hills Winery.
Cedric Sutton
Cedric is married with 4 daughters and has lived in St. Charles for 11 years. 2010 marks his 5th year at Little Hills.
My wife Michelle is a native to St. Charles and moved here after our wedding. My wife works as a Geriatric Medical Technician in St. Charles. My work background is both in the restaurant field and social services. I worked with mentally disabled adults in the Bellefontaine Rehabilitation Center. This work made a profound impact on my life and my hopes are to open a Non Profit organization for the mentally disabled adults with the goal of teaching independent skills in worship in a Christian Setting.
Before coming to work for Little Hills Restaurant in May of 2005, I worked for Denny’s Corporation for over 8 years. I helped open many stores in the region and left the company due to a cut back in store openings and recent closures. Having been a customer to Little Hills Restaurant I was impressed by the food and service we received as customers. The day I applied at Little Hills, I spoke directly to David Campbell, who with his wife Tammy own the fine restaurant. David shock my hand and had me fill out the application and set up an interview. I was impressed that the owner works on site and felt that this would not only be a great opportunity but would be a learning and growing experience as a small business provides.
I like the atmosphere here at Little Hills, the dining experience is great and the quality of life I enjoy is most enjoyable. David does not allow me to work too many hours as setting priorities and balance in my life is as important to him as it is to me. I also learned after I was hired that both Tammy and David seek to run their business in a ‘Christian values’ that was a pleasant surprise for me.
My biggest surprise was that my employment with Little Hills allowed me to continue my pursuit of my degree in Christian Ministry and a minor in Bible history. I currently am working toward my Masters in Pastoral Theology which I should finish in late 2010 or early in 2011. I hope to begin my mentoring as a Chaplin in a local Hospital or local Christian based school.
I would recommend to anyone that is looking for a job or career in the restaurant industry to seriously look at Little hills for the opportunity in learning in a professional personal setting. It helps with both discipline in business but is family friendly.
I hope that everyone who comes into Little Hills Restaurant & Winery enjoys the experience that a small local Winery which makes its own wine in 150 year old caverns, has a great experience in tasting local wine or enjoying newly expanded menu. We are open for lunch and dinner every day and now feature a plate breakfast on Saturday and Sunday mornings.
Little Hills is a destination and the atmosphere is unmatched. Stop in and ask for my as I would enjoy the opportunity to meet you. The Lobster Ravioli is the best in the Mid-West!

It’s been since 2006 when the Harley Owner’s Group (H.O.G.) MO State Rally has embarked on St. Charles, but we’re happy to welcome them back!
September 9-12th, 2009 you’ll find Main Street and the surrounding area full of Harley Davidson Motorcycles and general Harley enthusiasts. Harley Davidson Dealerships sponsor Rider Groups/Chapters across the nation. Every year, each state has a State Rally where all the Chapters in the State are invited to get together. In the State of Missouri, there are 14 Chapters. There are 7 Chapters within the St. Louis/Illinois metro area alone. When speaking with their Rally Coordinator, Brad Sabol, he said they’re expecting over 800 riders and their families to visit the St. Charles area between the Convention Center and Main Street during the three day event.
We hope that they get a chance to visit our restaurant, and if so, please take a moment to comment on our blog about what your visit!

It’s that time of year again!
The Annual Festival of the Little Hills returns to Frontier Park and Main Street on August 21-23, 2009!
As much as we’d like to claim that this is a particular celebration focusing on our wine and the history of our winery, we have to admit it has nothing to do with wine at all! Instead, it is a colossal craft fair that comes to our town every year! This event attracts craft vendors from over 30 states displaying their talents and selling their goods. There is also live entertainment scheduled on the Main Stage in Frontier Park throughout the weekend and lots of food!
If you’re planning on joining in on the fun, you might want to check out the Parking Map link on the Restaurant page of our website for assistance. Also, be aware that the South end of Main Street (from Boone’s Slick to Monroe Street) will be closed to general traffic starting at 5 am on Friday, August 21st until 7 pm Sunday, August 23rd.
For the complete schedule for this event visit: www.festivalofthelittlehills.com . We hope to see you on Main Street. It really is a good time!
